USWNT vs. Canada score: USA win SheBelieves Cup in dramatic penalty shootout

The U.S. women’s national team lifted their seventh SheBelieves Cup title on Tuesday beating Canada in a penalty shootout in the squad’s final match before the arrival of incoming head coach Emma Hayes. Regulation ended 2-2 while the U.S. won the shootout 5-4, needing extra spot kicks to settle the game.

Canada’s Adrianna Leon opened the scoring in the 40th minute, capitalizing on a miscommunication in the back to give the visitors the lead. The USWNT’s attack, though, lived up in the second half and Sophia Smith scored in the 50th and 66th minutes to give the hosts the advantage.

A few minutes before the final whistle, though, Crystal Dunn was called for a foul on Leon and conceded a penalty, which Leon swiftly converted in the 86th minute. The match then went to a penalty shootout, which went to sudden death but was eventually won by the USWNT as defender Emily Fox converted the tournament-winning strike.
